At Mobile,

J. A. Stewart, Co. G, 9Th and oath Ind,
Paoli, Ind, takes issue with Comrade Callahan,
Co. b, 122d H., who said that he was awarded
medal of honor by Congress for capturing a
rebel flag at Fort Blakely, he being a member
of the Sixteenth Corps. Comrade Stewart in
sists that Callahan is mistaken, for Fort Blalely
was taken by the Thirteenth with the assist
ance of a brigade of eolored troops, and the Six
teenth Corps had nothing to do with it.
j. b. De Laplain, Co. ID. 122d III. address not
given), says he belonged to the Sixteenth Corps
and was at Fort Blakely. The writer briefly
describes the charge on the fort, in which his
regiment was an active participant, capturing
a large number Of prisoners and driving the
rebels to the river.
James l.. Miller, Co. d, 11th Wis, Muscoda,
Wis, eontroverts the statement that the Six
teenth Corps took no part in the capture of
Fort Blakely. His regiment belonged to the
Third Brigade Of the Second Division, and was
actively engaged. His company lost five killed,
including Lieutenant, and many wounded.

@. G. Wright, Co. III, 126th N. Y, gives the
following as the organizations surrendered at
Harpers Ferry: 18th, Goth, 111th, 115th, I25th
and 126th N. Y, 9th VT, ed, Goth and 67th
Ohio, and Goth ILL.,, small detachment of the

terry of Dahlgren guns on Maryland Heights,
commanded by Capt. McGrath. Rigby's bat

The cavalry, composed of the 8th ILL.,, Sth N "
and part of Rhode Island regiment, all under
command of Col. Davies, Sth N. Y, cut their
way through the rebel lines the night before
the surrender and escaped.
ID. Q. Shuey, Co. 4, 10th Pa, Mabel, Pa says
that Comrade Curreen, 115th N. Y, in recent
article mentioned the 10th Pa. as one of the
regiments surrendered at Harper's Ferry. The
writer says that at that time the 10th was
fighting the rebels at Pocotaligo Bridge, s. c.,
fully 500 miles from Harper's Ferry. The 10Th
was never nearer the latter place than Wash

Ylcksburg Campaign.

Jacob Zerbe, 26th Ohio battery, Alden, Kan,
rises to speak about the LIST La. battery at
Champion Hills. He claims the honor for Lo-
gan's Division, OF McPherson's Corps. The 32d
Ohio charged directly in the face Of four OF
the guns, Co. + going over the works through
the embrasures of the two center pieces and Co.
through breach just to the right. The
writer thinks, however, that the 32d was not
entitled to any more credit than some of its
comrade regiments. The fact that the battery
was turned over to Co. + does not indicate that
Gen. Logan intended to specially honor that
company or regiment. The company was en-
listed for artillery, and had the promise of be-
ing so equipped at the earliest opportunity.
The captured guns were put into its possession
and it became known as the Goth Ohio battery.

Through the CarOlInas.

F. Ellic0tt. Lockport, N. Y, writes brief
account of the capture of Fayetteville, N. c.,
by Shermans "bummers." lie says that the
town was taken possession of by squad of
about 40 men of the Twentieth Corps, mounted
on horses and mules.
John A. Jones. Corporal. Co. ID, 9th H.,
"Yates's SharpshoOters," Strum, Wis, disputes
the claim of COmrade John Guthrie who said
that his regiment, the sd Wis, was the first to
enter Cheraw, S. q. The writer says there was
ne surrender of the town by the Mayor he hav-
ins "skedaddled " and left that duty to be
performed by few ladies. He says that the
day Sherman and his eoffee-coolers" struck
Cheraw. the First Brigade, First Division,
Seventeenth Corps, was in the advance. The
First Brigade led the division, the regiments
being in the following order from the 'front.'
Gath Ill, 9th Ohio, 18th Mo. and 39th Ohio,
Gen. John w. Fuller commanding. The bril-
gade formed in line of battle about half mile
from the city, the 9th Ill. and 9th Ohio in
the first line, 18th Mo. and 10Th Ohio in the
second. The skirmshers drove all before them
until they reached the city, when they
met stubborn resistance, but the advance of
the brigade drove the enemy from the city
towasd the Pedee River. The writer says that
the affair was mo great shakes in the way of
q fight anyhow, but if there is any credit for
entering the city first he claims it for his bril-
gade.

EARLY MATURITY.
Two Safe and Cominon-Sense Methods by
Which 1t Can Be Accomplished.

Two Safe and Cominon-Sense Methods by
Which 1t Can Be Accomplished.
The question of early maturity in the
breeding Of farm animals is one of spe-
cial Importance. but early maturity
should not mean young animal loaded
with fat. The butcher will decide
against such an animal every time, if
he has chance The butcher looks to
the lean meat of carcass for profit,
for this lean meat is what The buyer
pays for. If the muscle is filled with
sufficient fat to render the whole succu-
lent, the true aim has been reached in
the production of superior beef and
mutton. If it be hog, a large amount
of fat is admissible, since the lard is
nearly as valuable as the lean meat.
This early maturity, with a due pro-
portion of muscle, is accomplished,
first, by selecting animals of early ma
turing breeds, and second, feeding for
the purpose in view. In summer flush
pasture, grass and clover, contain this
nutr1ment in the proper degree. That
is to say. the mixed grasses form a
perfect food, nourishing all parts
aLlhG, Ol lIle duIIIldl tCOHOluN- w At1
special foods are given they must also
contain the elements of bone, muscle
and fat in proper proportion, and if
the young steer or lamb have had these
the first full year of life as a steer, or
for seven months as lamb. the animal
may thereafter be safely given a
larger proportion of Indian corn-our
cheapest single food for finishing Off
MIL stufs, bran, light barley and oil
cakes are generally cheap enough so
they may be economically used in feed
ing young animals.
Without going into discussion on
perfect foods, many of which are mys-
tifying to many practical feeders, it is
safe to say that corn meal and bran, Of
equal weight, in connection with grass
or good, sweet hay. comes pretty near
to being food that will nourish all
parts fully. IF oats and light barley
are cheap, these may be given with
corn so each will constitute one-third
of the whole by weight. If oil cake
can be had. two pounds or more per
day for each young steer may be added
with profit
What the feeder is constantly to keep
in mind. however, is the cost of the
feeding material. If one kind is scarce
and consequently dear, use something
containing the component parts as
near as may be. Then the nearer an
animal is kept up to full feed. without
cloying, from birth to the butchers
block, the greater the profit; for the
assimilation of food has been definitely
shown, as previously stated in this
journal. to be decreasing ratio for the
amount fed. the older the animal is.
Besides this, if it takes half the food
eaten to supply the average waste from
birth to the age of four years, this alone
becomes a heavy charge against the
current value of the animal at that age,
and therefore an increasing charge un-
til it is butchered.-F'arm Field and
Stocknaaa.

Some trees are valuable, not only
for their timber. but will yield an in
come while growing. The sugar maple
is one of these Its timber ranks very
high for both fuel and lumber. The sap
taken from it during the brief season Of
sugar making makes no perceptible Re-
duction in its vitality, or check in its
growth, and the cost of the syrup or
sugar. made from it is small. The nee
essary fuel is supplied by fallen
branches, or branches which should be
cut out, and the work comes at a sea-
son when very little else can be done
on the farm. There is no expense for
planting or cultivation. Expensive ap-
planes are not required, and the work
can all be done at home. Maple syrup
or sugar known to be pure always finds
a ready sale at good price.-N E.
